Discussion Week 4 – NURS 6052

**Deadline: 03/27/2021**

Discussion: Searching Databases

 

When you decide to purchase a new car, you first decide what is important to you. If mileage and dependability are the important factors, you will search for data focused more on these factors and less on color options and sound systems.

The same holds true when searching for research evidence to guide your clinical inquiry and professional decisions. Developing a formula for an answerable, researchable question that addresses your need will make the search process much more effective. One such formula is the PICO(T) format.

 

· Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.

· Review the materials offering guidance on using databases, performing keyword searches, and developing PICO(T) questions provided in the Resources.

· Review the Resources for guidance and develop a PICO(T) question of interest to you for further study. It is suggested that an Intervention-type PICOT question be developed as these seem to work best for this course.

 

To Prepare:

“Analysis of Workplace Related Stress among the Nurses”

**Clinical issue will remain the same for the entire course and will be the basis for the development of your PICOT question. ** The clinical issue is the same as the one use in the assignment from previous week**

Please review the attached assignment.

 

1. Transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently.

2. Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least two different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.

 

DISCUSSION:

3. Post a brief description of your clinical issue of interest.

4. Share PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.

5. Describe your search results in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators.

6. Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.
